A small crowd gathers outside Spirit Lake City Hall. The July meeting of the City Council is about to start. For 30 minutes, people mingle — talking about their roots in town and concerns about public safety — until city employees unlock the doors. People quickly fill the seats, and more stand in the back. They're there for one issue: the city's shrinking police department.

Forty years ago, Martha Holmberg knew exactly what she wanted to do: train as a chef at one of the top culinary schools in France. She didn't know she would eventually author or co-author nine cookbooks, including a James Beard award winner. She didn't know she would write hundreds of pages on the humble tomato, creating an authoritative text on the fruit, Simply Tomato, which hit shelves this June. She didn't know she would cultivate a successful career on the east coast, then in Portland, then in a new, developing food scene in Spokane.
